Ace comedian Atunyota Alleluya Akpobome popularly known in entertainment circles as Ali Baba has stated why it is not advisable to bet against former president Olusegun Obasanjo.
The humour merchant made the comments about Obasanjo while he was recounting a memorable encounter which he had with the former president of Nigeria.
According to Ali Baba, he remembered how Olusegun Obasanjo foresaw that a person who once said something bad about him would ask him for a favour.
He said that people close to Obasanjo wanted him to permit them to attack the person in question who made negative comments about him but Obasanjo kicked against it and warned them never to respond or bring it up again.

Ali Baba noted that the person would someday ask for his favour, and it came to pass.
“Sometimes, I look back to time spent with this elder-states man, Baba Obasanjo. And I marvel at how well he reads the Nigerian Polity.
”These days when these things he had said would happen, I call him and say “Baba you said this will happen”.
”Thank God I don’t bet. I would have lost plenty of bets.” Ali Baba added.
